The values screen, explained · five checks, plain English

This company is excluded by both standards. There are two widely recognised ways to check whether a company is suitable for a Muslim investor. It fails on both:

The common standard · AAOIFI
Used by most halal investing apps
✗ DOES NOT PASS
Our stricter standard · asset-based
The one Titan applies
✗ DOES NOT PASS

Why it fails. The problem is its business activity. Because both standards agree on this, it is a clear exclusion, not a borderline case.

What these two standards are, and how they differ →

  • Business activity Financial sector: banks Fail
  • Debt load Interest-bearing debt is just 0.0% of its assets, well under the one-third ceiling — it does not run on borrowed money. Pass
  • Interest-bearing cash Cash held in interest-bearing accounts and securities is 0.0% of assets, under the one-third limit. Pass
  • Receivables Money owed to the company is 0.0% of assets, under the 49% limit. Pass
  • Revenue purity Only 0.0% of revenue comes from non-compliant sources — under the 5% line. Pass

Every security is read against two recognised standards: our stricter asset-based screen (ratios measured against total assets) and the more widely used market-value standard (measured against market capitalisation). Where they agree we say so plainly; where they part ways — almost always on the debt check — we show both readings and mark it, because that disagreement is the finding, not a fault. We report the score; you and your scholar make the call.

The business, in plain words · what the numbers mean

State Lender Trips Ethical Alarm First

Picture a Brazilian farmer or civil servant wiring wages through the biggest state-owned bank in the country. The operation runs on public-sector ties that most private lenders avoid. That same link triggers our ethical screen and rules the name out before any valuation debate starts.

We pass for two clear reasons. The ethical flag sits at the top, and the numbers offer little comfort to offset it. Revenue is down 22 percent, return on equity sits at just 9 percent, and the thin 1 percent margin of safety above our fair value does nothing to change the call.

A 4.3 times forward multiple looks tempting on a regional bank until you remember earnings can swing hard with Brazilian policy and commodity cycles. One analyst target sits at the current price, so the market already prices in modest expectations. Analysis, not advice.
